YES THIS WORKS IF THE PERSON IS OFFLINE WHEN YOU READ THE MESSAGE. I HAVE TESTED THIS OUT WITH FRIENDS. IF THEY ARE ONLINE THEY WILL SEE THAT YOU HAVE READ THE MESSAGE AND THS WILL DISSAPEAR ONCE THEY REFRESH THEIR PAGE. BEST BET IS TO READ THE MESSAGE WHEN THEY ARE OFFLINE AND MARK AS UNREAD. HATE THE SEEN FEATURE ON FB. TESTED ON SAFARI BROWSERS.

The archive is so you can save it for later recovery and mark as read is so you can mark it as read without opening the actual message. Now you can delete messages for good, however if your using a mobile phone to delete them, all the deleted will be able to be seen again by viewing older messages. (n a computer (nce deleted, its gone forever!!! Hope this is of help!

If you read a message in Facebook, then mark it unread - the sender will not see that you read it. But if they are online as you read it and then mark it unread, they will see it as read untill they refresh their browser/phone.
